Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 90

The bright moon volleys high up in the sky.

In the courtyard of Sanxi Villa, under a simple pergola, a group of small newsboys was sitting at the center. The youngest ones are at the innermost, and the older ones are squatting on the periphery.

　　Chen Luo sat in the middle, smiling and relying on his memory, recalling “Gourd Baby” which he had watched countless times in his childhood.

　　”The Seventh Baby raised his companion baby gourds and sucked all his six older brothers into itself… The snake spirit set up a pill furnace and said it can now refine a Seven Star Pill, and the Seventh Baby clapped her hands and laughed happily .”

　　At this point in the story, a group of little boys clenched their fists, and the little girls also had tears in their eyes.

　　The seven little gourds on the top of the head swayed, and although the six little gourds in front had no nose or eyes, they could all feel that they were glaring at the seventh little purple gourd.

　　”Old Seven, how can you do this?”

　　”Little Seven, I loved you daily for nothing!”

　　”Ah Qi, don’t come here to hide from the sun in the future!”

　　The little purple gourd was about to cry aggrievedly; “It’s not me, I didn’t, don’t talk badly about me!”

　　Chen Luo watched everyone’s reaction with a smile, paused intentionally, and continued: “The snake demon turned his eyes and looked at Qiwa.”

　　”Good boy, show your treasures to mother.”

　　”Seventh baby didn’t suspect anything, so she handed her precious gourd to the snake spirit. Unexpectedly, the snake spirit pointed back and sucked even the Seventh Baby into the treasure gourd and threw it into the alchemy furnace…”

　　”Raging flames were seen, and the faint screams of the seven gourd babies in the alchemy furnace were heard. The Grandpa beside was heartbroken, but he couldn’t break free from the spirit’s shackles.”

　　The seven little gourds who were bickering just now became quiet in an instant and listened to the following story seriously.

　　”At this time, the Seven Star Pill that was supposed to be refined still had no movement. The seven-colored light of the flame in the pill furnace keeps flickering, but they can’t appear at the same time. The snake demon looks confused, and doesn’t know what’s wrong.”

　　”Grandpa had a flash of inspiration, and said, Snake demon, you used internal strife to drive the seven gourd babies apart, how could it be possible for the seven stars to return to one, let me go, I have a solution!”

　　”The snake demon knew that the old man was just an ordinary person. Guessing that he would not be able to use any tricks, he waved his hand and let the little demon let go of the old man. The old man looked through his items and dug out the companion lotus pad he brought back when he found the gourd seeds. 

　　”The lotus pads, which originally had no special features, suddenly burst into colorful brilliance. The old man said ‘connecting hearts, connecting hearts, and forming one heart’. Seven lotus hearts then appeared in the empty holes in the colorful lotus seat.”

　　”The snake spirit yelled: ‘No, I’ve been fooled!’”

　　”The old man threw the lotus seat high, and the seven lotus hearts in the lotus seat fell into the pill furnace. In an instant, colorful air shot up into the sky, and a thunderbolt shot into the pill furnace, and the pill furnace exploded.”

　　”At this time, the heavens resonated, and there was a pleasant singing sound.”

　　”Gourd baby, gourd baby, there are seven flowers on a vine; you are not afraid of the wind and rain, la la la la… Ding Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang, Gourd Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang, great ability, la la la la… …”

　　”At this time, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple beams of light flew out, like a rainbow, falling on the accompanying lotus pad. The seven gourd babies are like mountains built up, gradually showing their figures in the seven colors of light!”

　　”The eldest child steps on the ground and lifts the sky; the second child breaks through the snake monster’s maze; the third child broke into the demon formation alone and killed the leader of the centipede; the fourth child breathes fire and thunderbolts; The fifth child floods the demon mansion with water; sixth child became invisible and interferes with the escape of the snake demon!”

　　”The snake demon raised the seventh child’s precious gourd again, and the gourd brothers were shocked. At this time, Grandpa suddenly rushed towards the snake demon, and the precious gourd was released from the snake demon’s hand. The seventh child jumped high and used his own precious gourd.”

　　”The scorpion spirit was furious, took out the dagger, and stabbed the Grandpa from behind…”

　　”Grandpa fell into his own pool of blood!”

　　”The seven gourd babies went almost insane,

　　They pounced on the snake demon and the scorpion spirit without caring for their own life and finally defeated the two demons. But even though the two demons are dead, their demonic energy will not be extinguished. The seven gourd babies turned into colorful sacred mountains and descended from the sky, forever suppressing evil spirits! “

　　Chen Luo let out a sigh of relief, and the first part of the Gourd Brothers was finally done.

　　He tried to feel his inner power and found that he probably consumed half of his mortal energy. The power of luck he used was around twice that of “Du Shiniang”…

　　Still acceptable! Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at – “ ”

　　Chen Luo looked at the group of dumbfounded children, then looked up at the seven motionless little gourds, and said with a smile, “Do you know what this story tells us?”

　　”The snake spirit is a villain!” A child raised his hand and said.

　　”No, it is necessary to be of one heart and one mind to defeat the bad guys!” said an older child.

　　Chen Luo shook his head slightly, looking at the seven little gourds: “This story tells us that when we fight, we have to form a group, don’t send yourselves to death one by one! Do you understand?”

　　There was still no response from the seven little gourds. Chen Luo felt something was wrong.

　　”Hey, you seven, are you all right?”

　　Chen Luo asked.

　　It was quiet.

　　Damn, something is wrong.

　　Chen Luo stood up a little nervously and reached out to touch the nearest Xiao Qi—Zi Gourd.

　　”What happened to you guys?”

　　Purple Gourd: “We’re waiting for the song!”

　　”Without the song, we cannot transform.”

　　”That’s right, we need to make an appointment!”

　　”Hurry up and sing, I can’t hold back anymore!”

　　Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and gave the children a wink.

　　The children’s eyes lit up, and they immediately began to sing: “Gourd baby, gourd baby, seven flowers on a vine…”

　　When the singing started, each of the seven little gourds shone brightly in an instant.

　　”I’m coming out……”

　　The farthest red gourd split open suddenly, a flash of red light flashed, and a small shadow fell on the ground, growing in the wind, instantly becoming the size of a five or six-year-old child.

　　At the same time, the second, third, fourth… until the seventh, the small gourds split open one by one, and a small person jumped out of each of them, growing into a figure of five or six years old.

　　Chen Luo looked at the seven little people in front of him, his eyes almost popped out.

　　All of them are handsome, yes, each of them is like a doll, each with a small monochrome gourd on his head, and clothes in the shape of gourd leaves on their body.

　　They all describe the gourd baby by themselves.

　　The issue is–

　　Why is it all—

　　girls!

　　Gourd girl?

　　The seven little loli gourd babies looked around and finally looked at Chen Luo together.

　　Chen Luo suddenly had a bad feeling.

　　Sure enough, the seven gourd girls opened their mouths together and shouted at Chen Luo——

　　”Grandfather!”

　　…

　　Zhongjing City.

　　The door of the Clan Mansion was wide open, and a young man in his twenties, dressed in a yellow robe, walked out from inside. The clan officials who sent him out followed behind him and saluted.

　　”Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince!”

　　The prince turned around, glanced at the long corridor of the clan mansion, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, leaned into the ear of the subordinate officer, and said softly: “I have remembered the teachings of the master. I am alone in the East Palace, looking forward to seeing you come.”

　　The official didn’t change his expression, and said: “Prince, be patient, it will take time.”

　　The prince nodded slightly and walked out of the clan mansion without further words. At this time, Da Changqiu, who was already waiting there, trotted up to greet him, and handed over his cloak and robe.

　　”Prince, you have finally come out. Crown Prince is waiting for you in the palace…”

　　With a longing expression on his face, the prince took the cloak and said with a smile: “It’s been a long autumn. During the days when I made a mistake and was grounded, are father and mother safe? Is there anything new in Zhongjing City? You have to talk to me about it on the way.”

　　While the prince was talking, he stepped on the dragon horse brocade chariot that came to pick him up…

　　…

　　Lord Jing’s Mansion.

　　Chengyu pushed open the door and saw a round boy lying on the ground, flipping an account book in his hand.

　　”That’s not right, why did the profit increase by 3312.26 cents this month? Where is the excess?”

　　Chengyu was used to the other party’s appearance, and stepped forward: “Little prince, the prince has come out.”

　　”Come out as soon as you come out! If he dares to provoke me, I will send him in again.”

　　After speaking, the other party continued to look at the account book in his hand and suddenly seemed to find something.

　　”I see!” The boy raised his head excitedly and looked at Chengyu, “Aunt Yu, you said before that you had contact with Lord of Wan An, right?”

　　Chengyu nodded.

　　”I want to see him!”
